About

Dr. Yang Li is an Assistant Professor at the School of Nursing at the University of Texas at Austin. She received her PhD in Nursing from the University of Michigan, along with her MSN and BSN from Shandong University in China. Prior to joining UT Austin, she completed postdoctoral training at the University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing. Her research focuses on women’s health, particularly among underserved populations affected by violence and trauma, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and intimate partner violence (IPV), with an emphasis on mental and maternal health. Dr. Li's work examines the bio-psychosocial pathways linking maternal trauma history and psychopathology to perinatal health outcomes. She has conducted research with Chinese immigrant women, exploring the prevalence, risk factors, mental health consequences, and lived experiences of IPV in this population. Building on this research, she developed the first culturally tailored intervention that integrates mental health care with safety and empowerment to address both psychological and practical aspects of IPV recovery, aiming to improve access to IPV and mental health support for Chinese immigrant women. Her research extends to investigating mental health disparities in underserved populations, including the impact of racial discrimination on issues such as depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and suicidality among Chinese immigrants. Through her work, Dr. Li strives to shed light on the…

  article

  The application of solid-state batteries (SSBs) is challenged by the inherently poor interfacial contact between the solid-state electrolyte (SSE) and the electrodes, typically a metallic lithium anode. Building artificial intermediate nanofilms is effective in tackling this roadblock, but their implementation largely relies on vapor-based techniques such as atomic layer deposition, which are expensive, energy-intensive, and time-consuming due to the monolayer deposited per cycle. Herein, an eas…
